One thing is a fact, it certainly does not look like a budget card. At sub 99 USD you get Radeon HD 4850 game performance and a dual-slot cooling design, that quite frankly looks really swell. The cooling design is exhausting hot air outside your PC. Fan RPM is kept below 40% keeping the product quiet.

Backside of the PCB. No memory chips are located here, neither is there space for it. We do expect to see some 1024MB models in the near future though.

When we place the card into a perspective front view, we stumble into two DVI connectors (HDCP capable). Both dual-link DVI, thus supporting high-resolution monitors.

ATI Radeon HD 4770 reviewToday we have another bang for buck product, a product that I like very much. As what ATI is doing today is pretty remarkable. They are releasing the Radeon HD 4770, a mainstream product at a budget price. Trust me when I say that after reading this review, you will be impressed.

AMD ATI Radeon HD 4870 1024MB reviewToday a test and review on the new AMD ATI Radeon HD 4870 1024MB. Obviously ATI is releasing a 1GB model to compete with the new Core 216 version of that GeForce GTX 260. The 4870 series really diggs that GDDR5 memory bandwidth, and what's the cheapest thing to do to gain some extra performance ? Increase the framebuffer volume. Now that by itself is not going to work miracles, yet in memory limited situations (loads of high quality textures, filtering and AA modes) it will help you here and there. And a little bit of extra bite is all the product needs to get beat that Core 216 card again.
